Some absolute hammers on that list! Metcalf especially stands out to me on the all-time list since he only had 3 years to do it, as opposed to 4 for all the others

Does anyone have a list handy for where our current guys are at?

Anyone know where Spencer and Cass are at for career pins?

Spencer Lee: 28 (29 if you count Piccininni)

Do you have a link? The weekly media guide doesn't count Cass' unattached year.

I've counted this for Cass- 38 pinfalls including his unattached year.
18-19- 14 pins
19-20 7 pins
20-21 5 pins
21-22 3 pins
22-23 9 pins
23-24 TBD ?

I imagine Picc would trade that pin for one of Lee's NC's.

I'm also amazed by Metcalf's number. I knew he had quite a few, but not that many with his shortened elgibility and closer to a time when he didnt get as many matches. Had I not seen the list, I would have guessed Perry had more from all those cradles he did. Always sweet to see the full body of work on a career.
Anyone motivated enough to check pin percentage by number of matches

Memory is a funny thing. I don't remember the Brands brothers being great pinners. It seemed like they missed pinning opportunities cuz they seemed to delight in 7 minute roughneck beatdown.

Lol I’m picturing a broke opponent trying to roll over to their back and Ter turning him back over, saying, “Not so fast…”

CAREER PINS:
1. Ed Banach (1980-83): 73 of 152 (.480)
2. Randy Lewis (1978-81): 64 of 139 (.460)
3. John Bowlsby (1975-79): 59
T4. Rico Chiapparelli (1983-87) 49 of 132 (.371)
Royce Alger (1984-88): 49 of 144 (.340)
6. Terry Brands (1988-92): 48 of 144 (.333)
7. Brent Metcalf (2008-10): 47 of 111 (.423)
8. Tom Brands (1988-92): 46 of 167 (.275)
9. Mark Reiland (1989-92): 45 of 142 (.317)
10. Chuck Yagla (1973-76): 44 of 131 (.336)

Can't find Bowlsby's career record, but guessing someone can find the total.

I believe Spencer Lee is at 29 pins in 89 matches (.326). I have a feeling he'll up his percentage the remainder of this year. Had Spencer not missed out on so many "easier" early season matches over his career for injuries, he'd probably be closer to forty percent himself. He never got any Luther Open type titles which probably would've padded his stats.

I think Tony is at 27 in 74 (.365) if I added correctly.

A shift that I’m sure you don’t need to be reminded of. Only Josh Moore’s tally included a fall before Metcalf’s last one.
